Product Overview
Melanotan-1 (MT-1, Ac-Nle-Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys-NH2) is a synthetic tetradecapeptide supplied by PeptaCo for qualified laboratory research. It is a linear analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) with enhanced receptor binding affinity. Melanotan-1 is widely referenced in melanocortin receptor research and pigmentation studies.
Key Product Details
- Product Name: Melanotan-1 (MT-1)
- Specification: 10mg per vial
- Product Form: Lyophilized powder
- Category: Research Peptides — Melanocortin Agonist
- Peptide Length: 13 amino acids (acetylated N-terminus, amidated C-terminus)
Chemical Identity
Melanotan-1 is a linear tridecapeptide analog of α-MSH(4-13) with acetylation and amidation modifications. Molecular Formula: C₇₄H₉₄N₁₈O₁₄S. Molecular Weight: ~1646 Da. The modifications enhance metabolic stability compared to native α-MSH.
Research Context
Melanotan-1 is extensively studied in melanocortin research for its binding affinity at MC1-R (melanocortin 1 receptor). It is commonly referenced in investigations of pigmentation pathways, receptor pharmacology, and peptide structure-activity relationships. PeptaCo supplies Melanotan-1 in high-purity format for qualified laboratory customers.
